Description
Dispositif d'éjection d'un bouchon hors d'un tire- bouchon et tire-bouchon équipe d'un tel dispositif d'éjection Device for ejecting a stopper from a corkscrew and corkscrew equipped with such an ejection device
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'éjection d'un bouchon hors d'un tire-bouchon du type comportant un corps traversé par un passage d'allure tubulaire définissant un logement dans lequel est reçue une vrille apte à être entraînée en rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal dudit corps au moyen d'un élément de préhension relié à l'une de ses extrémités et s 'étendant à l'extérieur dudit corps. The present invention relates to a device for ejecting a cap out of a corkscrew of the type comprising a body through which a passage of tubular shape defining a housing in which is received a spinable swivel around the longitudinal axis of said body by means of a gripping element connected to one of its ends and extending outside said body.
L'invention concerne par ailleurs un tire-bouchon, du type comportant un corps traversé par un passage d'allure tubulaire définissant un logement dans lequel est reçue une vrille, équipé d'un tel dispositif d'éjection d'un bouchon. The invention also relates to a corkscrew, of the type comprising a body through which a passage of tubular shape defining a housing in which is received a spin, equipped with such a device for ejecting a plug.
De manière classique, pour déboucher une bouteille au moyen d'un tel tire-bouchon, un utilisateur emboîte d'abord le corps de ce dernier sur le goulot de la bouteille. Il visse ensuite la vrille dans le bouchon obturant la bouteille, puis y exerce une force de rotation entraînant le bouchon en translation par l'effet d'une vrille hélicoïdale, permettant de l'extraire de la bouteille et de l'amener en butée au fond du logement délimité par le corps du tire-bouchon. L'utilisateur retire ensuite le corps du tire-bouchon du goulot de la bouteille, et dévisse la vrille. Idéalement, le bouchon libéré devrait alors tomber du corps du tire-bouchon par gravité pour pouvoir être récupéré, par exemple dans la main de l'utilisateur placée sous le tire-bouchon, et permettre ensuite une nouvelle utilisation du tire-bouchon. Conventionally, to unclog a bottle by means of such a corkscrew, a user first fits the body of the latter on the neck of the bottle. It then screws the auger into the plug closing the bottle, then exerts a rotational force causing the cap in translation by the effect of a helical twist, to extract it from the bottle and bring it into abutment. bottom of housing delimited by the body of the corkscrew. The user then removes the body of the corkscrew from the neck of the bottle, and unscrews the spin. Ideally, the released cap should then fall from the body of the corkscrew by gravity to be retrievable, for example in the user's hand placed under the corkscrew, and then allow a new use of the corkscrew.
En pratique, on observe cependant fréquemment que de nombreux bouchons, notamment du fait de leur légère dilatation une fois extraits d'une bouteille, restent coincés dans le logement délimité intérieurement par le corps du tire-bouchon et dont les dimensions sont généralement ajustées à celles du bouchon. Lorsque cela se produit, l'utilisateur n'a évidemment pour autre solution que d'introduire ses doigts dans le corps du tire-bouchon afin de saisir le bouchon, et
de le dégager manuellement du logement, ou de pousser le bouchon en dévissant à moitié la vrille hors du tire-bouchon. Une telle manière de procéder est non seulement fastidieuse mais présente également l'inacceptable inconvénient d'occasionner, dans certains cas, de légères blessures au niveau des doigts de l'utilisateur opérant de manière comprimée dans le volume réduit du corps du tire-bouchon pour en extirper le bouchon. Enfin, un bouchon, en particulier lorsqu'il est réalisé en un matériau friable tel que le liège, peut se voir détérioré par le traitement un peu brutal auquel il est inévitablement soumis lors de son extraction forcée. Ceci peut alors interdire son éventuelle réutilisation ultérieure pour refermer une bouteille seulement partiellement entamée, et contraindre l'utilisateur à se procurer un bouchon de rechange, pouvant le cas échéant se révéler de moindre qualité. In practice, however, it is frequently observed that many plugs, especially because of their slight expansion once extracted from a bottle, remain stuck in the housing delimited internally by the body of the corkscrew and whose dimensions are generally adjusted to those of the cap. When this happens, the user obviously has no other solution than to introduce his fingers into the body of the corkscrew in order to grasp the stopper, and to release it manually from the housing, or to push the stopper by half unscrewing the spin from the corkscrew. Such a procedure is not only tedious but also has the unacceptable disadvantage of causing, in some cases, slight injuries to the fingers of the user operating in a compressed manner in the reduced volume of the body of the corkscrew for remove the stopper. Finally, a plug, particularly when made of a friable material such as cork, can be damaged by the somewhat brutal treatment to which it is inevitably subjected during its forced extraction. This can then prohibit its possible subsequent reuse to close a bottle only partially started, and compel the user to obtain a spare cap, which may be of lesser quality.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une solution permettant à un utilisateur d'extraire facilement, et avec succès à chaque tentative, un bouchon retenu dans le corps d'un tire-bouchon sans avoir à insérer ses doigts dans celui-ci, ou à devoir pousser le bouchon avec la vrille, par conséquent de manière sécurisée, et tout en préservant l'intégrité structurelle du bouchon concerné. The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a solution that allows a user to easily extract, and successfully with each attempt, a plug retained in the body of a corkscrew without having to insert his fingers into that or to have to push the cap with the twist, therefore in a secure manner, and while preserving the structural integrity of the plug concerned.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif d'éjection d'un bouchon hors d'un tire-bouchon du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un berceau d'allure tubulaire apte à être hébergé dans le logement d'un tire-bouchon et à accueillir ladite vrille et un bouchon vissé sur la vrille, ledit berceau étant formé d'un manchon fixe destiné à être solidarisé audit corps du tire-bouchon et d'un manchon coulissant, mobile en translation par rapport au manchon fixe, entre une position dans laquelle il est entièrement emboîté dans le manchon fixe et une position dans laquelle il est au moins partiellement extrait dudit manchon fixe, lesdits manchons fixe et
coulissant présentant une extrémité haute et une extrémité basse en considérant une position verticale du dispositif d'éjection, et ledit manchon coulissant comportant des moyens aptes à exercer, sur un bouchon retenu dans ledit tire- bouchon, une force orientée en direction de l'extrémité basse du manchon fixe, lorsqu'il est amené vers sa position dans laquelle il est au moins partiellement extrait dudit manchon fixe. For this purpose, the present invention relates to a device for ejecting a cap out of a corkscrew of the type indicated in the preamble, characterized in that it comprises a cradle of tubular appearance adapted to be housed in the housing a corkscrew and to accommodate said auger and a screw cap on the auger, said cradle being formed of a fixed sleeve intended to be secured to said body of the corkscrew and a sliding sleeve, movable in translation relative to at the fixed sleeve, between a position in which it is fully fitted into the fixed sleeve and a position in which it is at least partially extracted from said fixed sleeve, said sleeves fixed and sliding member having an upper end and a lower end while considering a vertical position of the ejection device, and said sliding sleeve comprising means capable of exerting, on a plug retained in said corkscrew, a force directed towards the end base of the fixed sleeve, when it is brought to its position in which it is at least partially extracted from said fixed sleeve.
L'invention a également pour objet un tire-bouchon comportant un corps creux ménageant un logement dans lequel est reçue une vrille apte à être entraînée en rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal dudit corps au moyen d'un élément de préhension relié à l'une de ses extrémités et s 'étendant à l'extérieur dudit corps, ledit logement étant apte à accueillir un bouchon vissé sur la vrille et présentant, au voisinage de l'extrémité libre de la vrille, au moins une portion de section circulaire apte à être emboîtée sur le goulot d'une bouteille, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif d'éjection d'un bouchon tel que défini ci-dessus. The invention also relates to a corkscrew comprising a hollow body forming a housing in which is received a spin able to be rotated about the longitudinal axis of said body by means of a gripping element connected to the one of its ends and extending outside said body, said housing being adapted to receive a cap screwed on the auger and having, in the vicinity of the free end of the auger, at least a portion of circular section adapted to to be fitted on the neck of a bottle, characterized in that it comprises a device for ejecting a plug as defined above.

Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, le berceau 6 est formé d'un manchon fixe 8 destiné à être solidarisé au corps 2 du tire-bouchon 1 et d'un manchon coulissant 9, mobile en translation par rapport au manchon fixe 8, entre une position dans laquelle il est entièrement emboîté et logé dans le manchon fixe 8 (cf. par exemple fig. 5) et une position dans laquelle il est au moins partiellement extrait du manchon fixe 8 (cf. fig. 6) . In the embodiment shown, the cradle 6 is formed of a fixed sleeve 8 intended to be secured to the body 2 of the corkscrew 1 and a sliding sleeve 9, movable in translation relative to the fixed sleeve 8, between a position in which it is fully fitted and housed in the fixed sleeve 8 (see for example Fig. 5) and a position in which it is at least partially extracted from the fixed sleeve 8 (see Fig. 6).
Les manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9 présentent une extrémité haute 80, 90 et une extrémité basse 81, 91 en considérant une position verticale du berceau 6. Ils présentent chacun un premier tronçon 82, 92, dont la section
est prévue apte à accueillir, de manière serrée, un bouchonThe fixed 8 and sliding sleeves 9 have an upper end 80, 90 and a lower end 81, 91 considering a vertical position of the cradle 6. They each have a first section 82, 92, whose section is intended to accommodate, in a tight manner, a plug
7 vissé sur la vrille 3 et un second tronçon 83, 93, de section supérieure à celle du premier tronçon 82, 92 apte à être emboîté sur le goulot 10 d'un récipient fermé par le bouchon 7, tel qu'une bouteille 11. Chacun des manchons fixe7 screwed on the auger 3 and a second section 83, 93 of greater cross section than the first section 82, 92 adapted to be fitted on the neck 10 of a container closed by the plug 7, such as a bottle 11. Each of the fixed sleeves
8 et coulissant 9 présente ainsi un épaulement 84, 94 formé entre son premier tronçon 82, 92 et son second tronçon 83, 93. 8 and slider 9 thus has a shoulder 84, 94 formed between its first section 82, 92 and its second section 83, 93.
Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, la paroi périphérique du manchon fixe 8 comporte d'une part deux bandes de matière 85, 85', dont les faces externes sont incurvées tandis que les faces internes 850, 850' sont d'allure plane. Ces deux bandes de matière 85, 85' sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe du manchon fixe 8 et s'étendent sur son premier tronçon 82 entre son extrémité haute 80 et son épaulement 84. Leurs faces internes 850, 850' sont espacées d'une distance dl permettant le serrage d'un bouchon 7. Par ailleurs, les bandes de matière 85, 85' se prolongent sous l'épaulement 84 et définissent ainsi deux ailettes 101, 101' de hauteur h2 s 'étendant au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure du second tronçon 83 du manchon fixe 8. Par ailleurs, les bandes de matière 85, 85' délimitent deux fentes longitudinales 86, 86' s'étendant également entre l'extrémité haute 80 et l'épaulement 84 du premier tronçon 82. In the embodiment shown, the peripheral wall of the fixed sleeve 8 comprises first two strips of material 85, 85 ', the outer faces are curved while the inner faces 850, 850' are planar appearance. These two strips of material 85, 85 'are symmetrical with respect to the axis of the fixed sleeve 8 and extend over its first section 82 between its upper end 80 and its shoulder 84. Their inner faces 850, 850' are spaced apart from each other. a distance d1 allowing the clamping of a plug 7. Furthermore, the strips of material 85, 85 'extend under the shoulder 84 and thus define two fins 101, 101' of height h2 extending at the level of the upper end of the second section 83 of the fixed sleeve 8. Moreover, the material strips 85, 85 'delimit two longitudinal slots 86, 86' also extending between the upper end 80 and the shoulder 84 of the first section 82 .
La paroi périphérique du manchon fixe 8 comporte en outre deux bandes de matière 87, 87' symétriques par rapport à l'axe du manchon fixe 8 et s'étendant sur son second tronçon 83 entre son épaulement 84 et son extrémité basse 81, en délimitant deux fentes longitudinales 88, 88' (cf. fig. 2) . Les bandes de matière 87, 87' du second tronçon 83 du manchon fixe 8 présentent des faces internes incurvées, espacées d'un diamètre d2 et présentent une largeur 12_ supérieure à la largeur 11 des bandes de matière 85, 85' du premier tronçon 82, et choisie de manière à conférer une largeur identique à l'ensemble des fentes longitudinales 86, 86', 88, 88' du manchon fixe 8.
Le manchon coulissant 9 présente une paroi périphérique complémentaire à celle du manche fixe 8. En effet, elle comporte sur chacun de ses premier et second tronçons 92, 93 deux bandes de matière 95, 95', 97, 97' s 'étendant respectivement entre son extrémité haute 90 et l'épaulement 94, et entre ce dernier et son extrémité basse 91. Ces bandes de matière 95, 95', 97, 97' sont complémentaires aux fentes longitudinales 86, 86', 88, 88' du manchon fixe 8 et délimitent ainsi sur le manchon coulissant 9 des fentes longitudinales 96, 96', 98, 98' complémentaires aux bandes de matière 85, 85', 87, 87' du manchon fixe 8. The peripheral wall of the fixed sleeve 8 further comprises two strips of material 87, 87 'symmetrical with respect to the axis of the fixed sleeve 8 and extending on its second section 83 between its shoulder 84 and its lower end 81, delimiting two longitudinal slots 88, 88 '(see Fig. 2). The material strips 87, 87 'of the second section 83 of the fixed sleeve 8 have curved internal faces spaced apart by a diameter d2 and have a width 12 greater than the width 11 of the material strips 85, 85' of the first section 82. , and chosen to give an identical width to all of the longitudinal slots 86, 86 ', 88, 88' of the fixed sleeve 8. The sliding sleeve 9 has a peripheral wall complementary to that of the fixed handle 8. In fact, it comprises on each of its first and second sections 92, 93 two strips of material 95, 95 ', 97, 97' extending respectively between its upper end 90 and the shoulder 94, and between the latter and its lower end 91. These strips of material 95, 95 ', 97, 97' are complementary to the longitudinal slots 86, 86 ', 88, 88' of the fixed sleeve 8 and thus define on the sliding sleeve 9 longitudinal slots 96, 96 ', 98, 98' complementary to the material strips 85, 85 ', 87, 87' of the fixed sleeve 8.
Il est par ailleurs à noter que les bandes de matière 85, 85', 87, 87', 95, 95', 97, 97' comportent des chants longitudinaux rectilignes. It should also be noted that the material strips 85, 85 ', 87, 87', 95, 95 ', 97, 97' comprise rectilinear longitudinal edges.
Grâce à une telle structure, les deux manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9 peuvent être emboités, leurs bandes de matière respectives 85, 85', 87, 87', 95, 95', 97, 97' venant s'insérer dans leurs fentes longitudinales respectives 86, 86', 88, 88', 96, 96', 98, 98' et se retrouvant par conséquent en contact les unes avec les autres au niveau de leurs chants longitudinaux rectilignes respectifs. Ces derniers définissent, comme il sera décrit plus en détail ci-dessous des premiers moyens de guidage en translation du manchon coulissant 9 par rapport au manchon fixe 8. Il est à noter que le manchon coulissant 9 est bloqué en rotation par rapport au manchon fixe 8 grâce au contact entre les chants longitudinaux respectifs des bandes de matière 85, 85', 87, 87', 95, 95', 97, 97' quelle que soit sa position par rapport au manchon fixe 8. Thanks to such a structure, the two fixed sleeves 8 and sliding 9 can be nested, their respective strips of material 85, 85 ', 87, 87', 95, 95 ', 97, 97' being inserted into their longitudinal slots respective 86, 86 ', 88, 88', 96, 96 ', 98, 98' and therefore being in contact with one another at their respective longitudinal straight edges. These define, as will be described in more detail below, the first guide means in translation of the sliding sleeve 9 relative to the fixed sleeve 8. It should be noted that the sliding sleeve 9 is locked in rotation relative to the fixed sleeve 8 thanks to the contact between the respective longitudinal edges of the strips of material 85, 85 ', 87, 87', 95, 95 ', 97, 97' regardless of its position relative to the fixed sleeve 8.
Conformément à l'invention, l'extrémité haute 90 du manchon coulissant 9 est par ailleurs refermée par un opercule 99 présentant un orifice central 12 apte à permettre le passage de la vrille 3 lorsque le berceau 6 est emboîté dans le corps 2 du tire-bouchon 1. According to the invention, the upper end 90 of the sliding sleeve 9 is further closed by a cover 99 having a central orifice 12 adapted to allow the passage of the swirler 3 when the cradle 6 is fitted into the body 2 of the puller. cap 1.
En référence à la figure 2, le bord de l'opercule 99 du manchon coulissant 9 comporte deux rainures 13 opposées.
centrées dans le prolongement de chacune des fentes longitudinales 96, 96'. Elles sont prévues aptes à coopérer, lorsque les deux manchons 8, 9 sont emboîtés, avec deux nervures longitudinales opposées 14, centrées sur la face interne plane 850, 850' de chacune des bandes complémentaires 85, 85' de la paroi périphérique du premier tronçon 82 du manchon fixe 8, destinée à être reçue dans ladite fente 96, 96'. L'ensemble formé par les deux rainures 13 du manchon coulissant 9 et les deux nervures longitudinales 14 du manchon fixe 8 définit des seconds moyens de guidage en translation du manchon coulissant 9 par rapport au manchon fixe 8. Referring to Figure 2, the edge of the cap 99 of the sliding sleeve 9 has two grooves 13 opposite. centered in the extension of each of the longitudinal slots 96, 96 '. They are provided capable of cooperating, when the two sleeves 8, 9 are engaged, with two opposite longitudinal ribs 14, centered on the flat inner face 850, 850 'of each of the complementary strips 85, 85' of the peripheral wall of the first section 82 of the fixed sleeve 8, intended to be received in said slot 96, 96 '. The assembly formed by the two grooves 13 of the sliding sleeve 9 and the two longitudinal ribs 14 of the fixed sleeve 8 defines second means for guiding the sliding sleeve 9 in translation relative to the fixed sleeve 8.
Il convient de noter que les nervures 14 permettent également d'assurer un blocage en rotation d'un bouchon 7, logé dans la partie du tire-bouchon 1 formée par les premiers tronçons 82, 92 des manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9, après son extraction d'une bouteille 11, lors du dévissage de la vrille 3. Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de blocage en rotation du bouchon 7 peuvent être envisagés, tels que par exemple une paire de nervures formées sur la face interne de chacune des bandes de matières 95, 95' du manchon coulissant 9, ou tous autres moyens équivalents. It should be noted that the ribs 14 also make it possible to ensure rotational locking of a plug 7, housed in the part of the corkscrew 1 formed by the first sections 82, 92 of the fixed and sliding sleeves 9, after its extraction of a bottle 11, during the unscrewing of the auger 3. Of course, other locking means in rotation of the plug 7 may be envisaged, such as for example a pair of ribs formed on the inner face of each of the bands of materials 95, 95 'of the sliding sleeve 9, or any other equivalent means.
D'autre part, l'opercule 99 comporte également deux pattes opposées 15, 15' s 'étendant dans son plan, sur son bord, dans le prolongement des deux bandes de matières 95, 95' du premier tronçon 92 du manchon coulissant 9. Ces deux pattes 15, 15' prennent appui sur l'épaulement 84 du manchon fixe 8 lorsque le manchon coulissant 9 est amené vers sa position dans laquelle il est au moins partiellement extrait du manchon fixe 8, de sorte à interdire son extraction totale du manchon fixe 8. Par ailleurs, chacune des pattes 15, 15' présente deux bords latéraux opposés qui s'étendent en butée contre les chants longitudinaux des bandes de matière 85, 85' du manchon fixe 8 ce qui empêche également toute rotation du manchon coulissant 9 par rapport au manchon fixe 8. Enfin, la face inférieure de l'opercule 99 est prolongée par une butée tubulaire 100, centrée sur son orifice central 12, et
présentant une hauteur hl identique à la hauteur h2 des ailettes 101, 101' . On the other hand, the cover 99 also comprises two opposite tabs 15, 15 'extending in its plane, on its edge, in the extension of the two material strips 95, 95' of the first section 92 of the sliding sleeve 9. These two lugs 15, 15 'bear on the shoulder 84 of the fixed sleeve 8 when the sliding sleeve 9 is brought to its position in which it is at least partially extracted from the fixed sleeve 8, so as to prevent its total extraction of the sleeve In addition, each of the lugs 15, 15 'has two opposite lateral edges which extend in abutment against the longitudinal edges of the material strips 85, 85' of the fixed sleeve 8, which also prevents any rotation of the sliding sleeve 9. relative to the fixed sleeve 8. Finally, the underside of the cap 99 is extended by a tubular abutment 100, centered on its central orifice 12, and having a height hl identical to the height h2 of the fins 101, 101 '.
Le manchon fixe 8 comporte par ailleurs un troisième tronçon 16 s' étendant dans le prolongement de son premier tronçon 82 et présentant un diamètre externe inférieur au diamètre externe du premier tronçon 82. Ainsi, le manchon fixe 8 comporte un second épaulement 17 s 'étendant entre son premier tronçon 82 et son troisième tronçon 16. The fixed sleeve 8 further comprises a third section 16 extending in the extension of its first section 82 and having an outside diameter less than the outer diameter of the first section 82. Thus, the fixed sleeve 8 comprises a second shoulder 17 extending between its first section 82 and its third section 16.
D'autre part, l'extrémité basse 81 du manchon fixe 8 comporte une collerette 18 sur laquelle s'étendent une pluralité de trous 19 régulièrement répartis et permettant la fixation du manchon fixe 8 au corps 2 du tire-bouchon 1 par exemple au moyen de vis 20 introduites dans les trous 19 et vissées dans le corps 2. Bien entendu, d'autres moyens de fixation équivalents peuvent être envisagés. On the other hand, the lower end 81 of the fixed sleeve 8 comprises a collar 18 on which a plurality of regularly distributed holes 19 extend and which allow the fixing of the fixed sleeve 8 to the body 2 of the corkscrew 1, for example by means of screws 20 introduced into the holes 19 and screwed into the body 2. Of course, other equivalent fastening means can be envisaged.
L'extrémité basse 91 du manchon coulissant 9 est prolongée par une collerette 21 s' étendant en avant de la collerette 18 du manchon fixe 8 lorsque les deux manchons sont emboîtés. Cette collerette 21 assure la fonction de moyen de préhension permettant à un utilisateur de manipuler plus facilement le dispositif d'éjection selon l'invention. Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, la collerette de préhension 21 comporte deux fentes transversales 22 la départageant en deux demi-collerettes 21a, 21b s'étendant dans le prolongement des bandes de matière 97, 97' du second tronçon 93 du manchon coulissant 9. Ceci permet le rapprochement de ces deux bandes de matière 97, 97' pour faciliter le coulissement du manchon coulissant 9 par rapport au manchon fixe 8, comme il sera expliqué ci-dessous. The lower end 91 of the sliding sleeve 9 is extended by a flange 21 extending in front of the flange 18 of the fixed sleeve 8 when the two sleeves are engaged. This flange 21 provides the function of gripping means allowing a user to more easily manipulate the ejection device according to the invention. In the variant embodiment illustrated, the gripping flange 21 comprises two transverse slots 22 separating it into two half-collars 21a, 21b extending in the extension of the material strips 97, 97 'of the second section 93 of the sliding sleeve 9. This allows the approximation of these two strips of material 97, 97 'to facilitate the sliding of the sliding sleeve 9 relative to the fixed sleeve 8, as will be explained below.
En pratique, et en référence aux figures 3 à 8, lors de l'utilisation du tire-bouchon 1 selon l'invention, équipé du dispositif d'éjection qui vient d'être décrit, pour déboucher une bouteille 11, l'utilisateur s'assure d'abord que le manchon coulissant 9 est totalement emboîté dans le manchon fixe 8 et qu'il est par conséquent effacé dans celui-ci. Il emboîte ensuite le tire-bouchon 1 sur le goulot 10 de la
bouteille 11, obturé par le bouchon 7. L'ensemble formé par les seconds tronçons 83, 93 respectifs des manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9 est alors placé autour du goulot 10 (cf. fig. 3) . La vrille 3 est ensuite vissée dans le bouchon 7 et une force de traction exercée sur ce dernier permet de l'amener progressivement dans l'ensemble formé par les premiers tronçons 82, 92 respectifs des manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9 jusqu'à ce qu'il soit stoppé par la butée annulaire 100 de l'opercule 99 du manchon coulissant 9 (cf. fig. 4) . La distance dl comprise entre les faces internes planes 850, 850' des bandes de matière 85, 85 'du premier tronçon 82 du manchon fixe étant choisie de manière à obtenir un ajustement serré du bouchon 7 reçu dans le berceau 6, ledit bouchon 7 reste dans l'état comprimé dans lequel il se trouvait alors qu'il était logé dans la bouteille 11. Celle-ci étant maintenant débouchée, l'utilisateur retire le tire-bouchon 1 du goulot 10, le bouchon 7 demeurant vissé sur la vrille 3 et bloqué dans le corps 2 du tire-bouchon 1. In practice, and with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, when using the corkscrew 1 according to the invention, equipped with the ejection device that has just been described, to unclog a bottle 11, the user ensures first that the sliding sleeve 9 is fully engaged in the fixed sleeve 8 and is therefore erased therein. He then fits the corkscrew 1 on the neck 10 of the bottle 11, closed by the stopper 7. The assembly formed by the respective second sections 83, 93 of the fixed and sliding sleeves 9 is then placed around the neck 10 (see FIG 3). The swirler 3 is then screwed into the stopper 7 and a traction force exerted on the latter makes it possible to bring it progressively into the assembly formed by the first respective sections 82, 92 of the fixed and sliding sleeves 9 until it is stopped by the annular abutment 100 of the cover 99 of the sliding sleeve 9 (see FIG 4). The distance d1 between the flat internal faces 850, 850 'of the material strips 85, 85' of the first section 82 of the fixed sleeve being chosen so as to obtain a tight fit of the plug 7 received in the cradle 6, said plug 7 remains in the compressed state in which it was while it was housed in the bottle 11. This being now uncorked, the user removes the corkscrew 1 of the neck 10, the cap 7 remaining screwed on the auger 3 and blocked in the body 2 of the corkscrew 1.
Afin de permettre une nouvelle utilisation du tire- bouchon 1, et par conséquent libérer le bouchon 7 bloqué dans le berceau 6, l'utilisateur dévisse la vrille 3 (cf. fig. 5) . Il saisit ensuite les deux demi-collerettes 21a, 21b bordant l'extrémité basse 91 du manchon coulissant 9. Ceci a pour conséquence de provoquer le resserrement des bandes de matière 97, 97' du manchon coulissant 9, et de faciliter le coulissement de ce dernier par rapport au manchon fixe 8. Le manchon coulissant 9, guidé en translation par les premiers et seconds moyens de guidage en translation décrits ci-dessus, est progressivement extrait du corps 2 du tire-bouchon 1. Lors de son déplacement, le manchon coulissant 9 entraîne avec lui le bouchon 7 sur lequel la butée tubulaire 100 de l'opercule 99 exerce une force Fl orientée en direction de l'extrémité basse 80 du manchon fixe 8. Lorsque les pattes 15 de l'opercule 99 arrivent en butée sur l'épaulement 84 du manchon fixe 8, le premier tronçon 92 du manchon coulissant 9, contenant toujours le bouchon 7, est logé à l'intérieur du
second tronçon 83 du manchon fixe 8 (cf. fig. 6) . Le bouchon 7 n'est alors plus contraint entre les bandes de matière 85, 85', 95, 95' des manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 9 mais et peut au moins partiellement se dilater entre les bandes de matière 95, 95' du manchon coulissant 9, et les bandes de matière 87, 87' du manchon fixe 8. Grâce à la présence de la butée tubulaire 100 présentant une hauteur hl équivalente à celle h2 des ailettes 101, 101', la face supérieure du bouchon 7 se retrouve située juste sous l'extrémité inférieure desdites ailettes 101, 101' . Puis, du fait de sa dilation au moins partielle, le bord de la face supérieure du bouchon 7 se retrouve en butée contre l'extrémité inférieure des ailettes 101, 101' du manchon fixe 8. Par conséquent, lorsque l'utilisateur repousse le manchon coulissant 9 de manière à le ré- emboîter dans le manchon fixe 8, le bouchon 7 n'est plus entraîné avec lui mais demeure dans l'ensemble formé par les seconds tronçons respectifs 83, 93 des manchons fixe 8 et coulissant 8, retenu par les ailettes 101, 101' (cf. fig. 7) . Le diamètre interne d2 de cet ensemble étant supérieur à celui du bouchon 7, ce dernier tombe maintenant par gravité et peut être aisément récupéré par l'utilisateur (cf. fig. 8) . In order to allow a new use of the corkscrew 1, and consequently release the plug 7 blocked in the cradle 6, the user unscrews the swirler 3 (see FIG 5). It then grasps the two half-collars 21a, 21b bordering the lower end 91 of the sliding sleeve 9. This has the effect of causing the tightening of the strips of material 97, 97 'of the sliding sleeve 9, and to facilitate the sliding of this last relative to the fixed sleeve 8. The sliding sleeve 9, guided in translation by the first and second translational guide means described above, is progressively extracted from the body 2 of the corkscrew 1. During its displacement, the sleeve slide 9 carries with it the plug 7 on which the tubular stop 100 of the cap 99 exerts a force Fl oriented towards the lower end 80 of the fixed sleeve 8. When the tabs 15 of the cap 99 come into abutment on the shoulder 84 of the fixed sleeve 8, the first section 92 of the sliding sleeve 9, still containing the plug 7, is housed inside the second section 83 of the fixed sleeve 8 (see Fig. 6). The plug 7 is then no longer constrained between the strips of material 85, 85 ', 95, 95' of the fixed sleeves 8 and sliding 9 but and can at least partially expand between the strips of material 95, 95 'of the sliding sleeve 9, and the material strips 87, 87 'of the fixed sleeve 8. Thanks to the presence of the tubular abutment 100 having a height h1 equivalent to that h2 of the fins 101, 101', the upper face of the plug 7 is found just located under the lower end of said fins 101, 101 '. Then, because of its at least partial expansion, the edge of the upper face of the plug 7 is abutted against the lower end of the fins 101, 101 'of the fixed sleeve 8. Therefore, when the user pushes the sleeve sliding 9 so as to re-fit into the fixed sleeve 8, the plug 7 is no longer driven with him but remains in the assembly formed by the respective second sections 83, 93 of the fixed sleeves 8 and sliding 8, retained by the fins 101, 101 '(see Fig. 7). The internal diameter d2 of this assembly being greater than that of the plug 7, the latter now falls by gravity and can be easily recovered by the user (see Figure 8).
Il est à noter que le dispositif d'éjection selon l'invention peut être conçu en tant que module universel adapté pour s'adapter à un grand nombre de tire-bouchons présentant différentes formes et caractéristiques.
It should be noted that the ejection device according to the invention can be designed as a universal module adapted to accommodate a large number of corkscrews having different shapes and characteristics.
